Why Do We Get Nervous Before Big Events?

Nervousness is like when your brain gets excited and worried at the same time. Imagine you're about to go on stage, but you're not sure if you'll remember your lines or trip over your feet, that's nervousness! Your body sends signals through your nerves, which make you feel like your heart is racing or your stomach is doing flips. This helps you get ready for the big event and stay alert.
